Others may not know Gu Zening's status in the Zhenguo Palace, but Nie Zhentao knows it very well.
Zhen Guoping had always been extremely strict in his daily life, and he was even more so towards Gu Zening. He didn't seem to have a good attitude at all, and he was not polite at all when he taught him a lesson.
However, anyone who knows Lord Zhen Guo knows that the one he loves the most is Gu Zening!
It’s no big deal for him to teach his son a lesson, but if someone dares to bully his son, they will fight to the death!
It is precisely because of this that Gu Zening is the dominant figure in the imperial city. No one dares to touch him except the Duke of Zhen who dares to teach him a lesson.
However, although Gu Zening had a very good reputation in the Emperor Yue Imperial City back then, he was not an ordinary playboy. He did not bother to do despicable and obscene things. He was just in the limelight, so no one knew about him.
Three years ago, Gu Zening suddenly disappeared, but he never expected that Gu Zening would come back and help this girl from the Tianyue Dynasty!
Nie Fu'er was already frightened, and now she realized how ridiculous she had been!
No wonder Mu Zhiqing has never been afraid of her from the beginning to the end. With the Zhenguo Palace as a backer, how many people in the entire Diyue Imperial City dare to provoke her
"Mr. Gu, we... we really don't know." Nie Fuler said tremblingly.
"Don't know?" Mu Zhiqing's voice rose, her eyes full of teasing, "Yesterday I heard Miss Nie claiming that Baicao Pavilion belonged to the Jiang family..."
Nie Zhentao couldn't help but look at Nie Fuli. Nie Fuli quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her at all, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "We are here today just to exchange money for the antidote."
"Yes, yes, we are just here for the antidote." Nie Zhentao's eyes lit up, "My little girl was offended by what happened yesterday. It's all because of my lax discipline on her. I hope Mr. Gu and Miss Mu will forgive me."
The next second, Nie Zhentao quickly took out the 200,000 taels of silver notes, feeling even more grateful in his heart.
He was always prepared when doing things. Yesterday, he was worried that this matter might go wrong, so he prepared the two hundred thousand taels of silver, which came in handy now.
Even if Mr. Gu didn't believe what he said, at least he brought the banknote, which gave him some more credibility.
Gu Zening glanced lightly at the attendant beside him, and the attendant took the banknote from Nie Zhentao's hand.
"Junior sister, antidote."
Upon hearing the word "junior sister", Nie Zhentao and others' eyes changed slightly. It turned out that this woman was Gu Zening's junior sister...
"then!"
Mu Zhiqing threw the antidote casually.
Nie Zhentao quickly caught the antidote and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, and thank you, Miss Mu."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Gu Zening raised his hand and interrupted Nie Zhentao, "These two hundred thousand taels are for buying the antidote from my junior sister, so... where is mine?"
Nie Zhentao was slightly stunned, his heart suddenly thumped, but his face showed no clue.
"Young Master Gu is right. I was wrong today and I should indeed apologize." Nie Zhentao said with a flattering smile on his face, "It's just that I went out in a hurry today and was unprepared. I wonder if Mr. Gu will allow me to go back and get it?"
"Okay." Gu Zening showed a satisfied smile, "No need to pay more, two hundred thousand taels."
Nie Zhentao's heart was bleeding. Even as a minister, 400,000 taels... this was definitely a lot of money.
